According to a report by CNN, the Germany-made explosive was found at a potato chip factory in Hong Kong. Police said the grenade was imported from France together with the potatoes; there was no indication of criminal activity.

Police later detonated the grenade on site at the factory, and posted a video of the procedure on the "Hong Kong Police Force" twitter account.

No injuries were reported.
